- If you'd identify yourself with two dashes and four tildes -- ~~~~ perhaps people might take your complaints more seriously. You can hide your IP by simply registering for an account. Besides which, your IP address is publically available anyway. It's like a street address. You can't hide it because you wouldn't be able to tell people where yo send your mail. (see: IP address for details) It is also not a privacy violation because if you don't want to be known, you don't have to edit. See the bottom: 'All contributions to Wikipedia are released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Project:Copyrights for details)' Also, IPs for creations/edits are logged in the history of the page.
